The week after Bryn's birthday & recital we took a trip home to Texas! We hadn't all been back together as a family in a long time so it was fun to go home and see everyone! (Minus the 16 hour drive with 2 kids, a dog, and being pregnant!)
The peaceful moments when the girls slept in the car
We stopped by my grandparents house to go through their things and pick out some that we wanted. It brought back a lot of memories, and it's sad that they aren't there anymore to greet us with hugs & kisses at the door and hear my Pappaw call us girls "Sugar-pie." Ok, now I'm getting emotional with the thought. But their things and memories will live on through us and I will always cherish that!
Brynlee with her cousins Macy & Maggie.
We made the genius decision to make a pit-stop at SeaWorld in San Antonio for a day. Wasn't thinking that it would be 103 degrees out! Pretty much takes the fun out of it, but we tried to make the best of it!
It doesn't look like it but my mom took this picture when Scarlett was screaming her head off b/c she was so tired, and I was about to pass out from the heat! Fun :)
We all enjoyed the Shamu show, especially Brynlee! And apparently whales jumping out the water have the ability to make a pregnant woman emotional. Hah! Gotta love these hormones ;)
After SeaWorld we finally made it to our final destination!
Happy to be at the grandparent's house and cool off in their new pool!
Until the mosquitos attack and you look like you got punched in the eye!
Even the mosquitos are bigger in Texas :(
It was a fun trip. Exhausting, but fun! And nice to see everyone.
This little girl went to bed the night before we left crying b/c she was going to miss all of her family :(
Hopefully someday we'll live closer!
Had too much stuff we had to take home a U-Haul! I call that a successful trip ;)
Bye bye Texas! See you later.
It was great to see every one of you guys. I know that trip is long and hard, we've traveled it a few times. It was really sad going through the stuff in Hubbard and especially not hearing that "sugar-pie". Good memories! Thank you for letting me tag along to Sea World, only wish we hadn't gotten sick - that darn Texas bug. Can't wait to see you in September, if I can make it that long. Love you all.
